The northern entrance of the [[Rotherhithe Tunnel]] emerges in Limehouse, to the west of the Basin and close to Limehouse railway station.<ref name=Castella>{{cite news |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13924687 |title= The UK's last, great, expensive, short roads |first=Tom |last=de Castella |date= 27 June 2011 |work=BBC News }}</ref> [[Narrow Street]] forms a part of the north bank of the [[Thames Path]] and had previously been the principal street in Limehouse. It includes the [[Cycleway 3]] between [[Tower Gateway]] to [[Barking, London|Barking]], one of London's first [[Cycle Superhighways]]. Though no longer a working dock, [[Limehouse Basin]] with its [[marina]] remains a working facility. The same is not true of the [[wharf]] buildings that have survived, most of which are now highly desirable residential properties. Limehouse Basin connects to the [[Regent's Canal]] via the [[Commercial Road Lock]] to the north, and the [[River Thames]] via [[Limehouse Basin Lock]] to the south. The [[Limehouse Cut]] connects the Basin to the [[River Lea]] in the east.
